A story about empathy and learning to share.

Elena loves her impressive collection of wonderful seashells. So, when a sneaky shell escapes, Elena uses all her efforts to get it back. Only then she discovers that the shell is home to a hermit crab. Will she find it within herself to help the hermit crab, or is keeping her shells her one and only priority? This is a simple tale of compassion and sharing.

Industry Reviews

Robbins' bright, childlike illustrations and minimal text match the sweet simplicity of her tale. Both tapir and hermit crab are adorable. An important lesson deftly delivered." --Kirkus Reviews

"Recommended. ... A bold colourful illustrative technique will encourage all readers to look at the details presented on the page, ponder why Emma is a tapir, look more closely at shells and shell collecting, tapirs and hermit crabs, and try to draw some shells themselves, using the sparkling endpapers as a guide." --ReadPlus (Australia)
